Funny thing is, it's probably true. Oh, well, I had an easy life.

#35  I call Bullshit, If this supposedly comes from the center of the galaxy, just look that way for any nova or supernova, None, Then it's Bullshit Electromagnetic Radiation falls off at the square of distance, no disturbances closer to supposed source? no problems.

#31  Yeah, it's gonna be worse than a nuclear blast and the ESA is hardening their satelites? I could be wrong here but I don't think you harden satelites with software and the ESA hasn't really got much of a manned space program. Guess they are SOL.

Oh, and 300 mile an hour winds blowing through vacuum would hardly cause any problem on Earth. The Sun is blasting us with particles travelling the speed of light, all day, every day (during the day) Even if there is science behind the 300 mile an hour winds (which I doubt) the effect on Earth would be the loss of tv and communications for a short while. This is just rubbish.

#29  Ah yes, March. In like a lion, out like a tsunami of unimaginable scale.... Talk about a short month!

#28  I'm praying for rain,
I'm praying for tidal waves.
I want to see the ground give way,
I want to watch it all go right down.

What can they (the ESA and the Illuminati in the sceret underground cities in Tierra del Fuego) do to you that's worse than standing with your family when the energy band hits, watching them all fry or freeze or get ripped apart by space weasels or whatever it is that giant galactic energy tsunamis do to you?


They can force you to watch while the EU hit man reads the EU constitution to your family.

You couldn't bounce a signal off it.

#22  Is getting offed by an EU hit man having to watch Al Gore blather on about global warming really a worse fate than crawling across the blasted ruins, pursued by mutant cockroaches?

You should at least make it a true dilemma.

However, that having been said, I'll take mutant cockroaches for 200, Alex.

#21  What I find amusing are all the posters who say that they know more, but can't say because they might end up-*gulp*-DEAD. What the hell? If we're all gonna die anyway, who cares?

#20  I would also like to tell you my name, but I cant. What I can say is this: I dont know ESA DE personally, but I do have a pretty good idea as to who he is; so in a convoluted way, we are.

Yeah. Convoluted. I understand...

#19  Tsunami from outer space? How does that work? Global warming is going to get us first--I heard it last night on the telly.

#15  ...I'm good with this either way - if it doesn't happen, I'm still alive, if it does my ex won't get a dime from our divorce settlement.

#13  Damnit , and I just ordered my yearly subscription of National Geographic ,and pre paid for all my papers and magazines and most importantly milk . On top of that I dont get paid till the end of the month .. How damn inconsiderate. Any chance they could avery disaster for a month or so ? Thats not too much to ask surely :P

#12  HeidiLore (moderator) confirmed that his IP address was out of Germany and belonging to the same ISP as ESA DE. The style of writing is very different. On the whole, he is very forthright and even names a BND agent recently assassinated for trying to blow the whistle on the ESA/tsunami cover-up.

Plots. Deep laid plots. LOL.

#10  Most of my work involves writing reports appended to requests for greater funding, so I have to know just as much about the way in which the EU Commission works as I do about satellite communications.

Well, well, that sums it up right there! Grant money whore!

#5  Although the ESA does not specialise in seismic phenomena, few of my colleagues believe that the December 2005 Tsunami was natural.

BWAHAHAHAHA!

This guy is dribbling on about how it's going to wipe out all life on Earth, "tear[ing] our atmosphere to shreds", but his job is hardening satellites against it.

Riiiiight.

Be sure to enjoy the part about the underground cities in the southern hemisphere.

#4  The authorities always ask for a "ballpark" number whenever faced with an unknown, but it really does remain unknown.

At least this is a known unknown.
